    • Abstract:
    The Newdale clay loam is the provincial soil of Manitoba and since its proclamation i n 2010 a number of celebratory activities have developed a near cult-like following. Those promotional activities and products include: Newdale soil jewelry (necklaces, earrings, bracelets and key chains), presentation plaques, laminated mini-monoliths, a ballad (to the tune of New York, New York), an informational kiosk at the town of Newdale, destination tours to dig and photograph the Newdale and a number of factsheets and posters. This poster will showcase these various activities.
